Artist Statement
I began painting over thirty years ago and in 2021 joined the Northwest Georgia and Lookout Mountain arts communities. Working from the beauty of this region, I enjoy painting colorful local landscapes in oil. Although my paintings may lack conventional detail, they are explicit in what they convey. I reinterpret the landscape through the use of vibrant color, contrast and intensity of values, working to capture the essence of a memory and convey a sense of place and mood. I am inspired by the rolling hills and lush countryside of our region, as well as the intense light of the Santa Ynez Valley of California and Northern New Mexico. My work is currently exhibited at the Mentone Arts Center in Mentone, AL.
